Im really sorry to hear this. This kind of stuff is tough as hell. Im sure you got a strong social circle to vent to. Not to sound like a softie: and this offer goes out to you or anyone else reading, if you gotta vent worries, concerns or anger, Im here to listen.I had to make a run up to Redmond yesterday and receive my dad's 9mm pc carbine and side by .410. He's 75 and has some dementia going on. He sees things he is convinced are real but really aren't there. Probably has some ptsd from combat to go with it. He's aware of it and asked me to come get his firearms. I have mixed emotions. I know it was the right call but it's hard. He's my dad. He taught me to shoot, hunt, and fish safely. He's an ex Marine who did a tour in Vietnam in '68 in the A sau valley. Might be the most difficult thing I have ever done. He loves to target shoot. I feel bad taking his firearms. I'm just emotional about his decline I guess.
Us dudes have to put on a tough face most of the time.. but there is stuff like what you've got on your plate right now that; despite our hard nosed demeanor.. cuts us to the core. Nothing worse than facing that kind of sh*t alone. Again, hope you got a good social network to have your back on this and my offer isnt needed.. but reach out if ever you need to man.
